Wildfires have increasingly become a problem in Spain and every summer they become more and more common. If you live in an at risk area, here's what you can do to protect your home. So far this year, a total of 173,651 hectares has been burned in wildfires across Spain. If you live in a rural area in Spain or even in a residential complex close to the countryside, your property could be at risk from blazes. If you live in an at risk area and have a garden, it's particularly important you take steps to protect your home.
